Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSushant Dinesh is a postdoctoral researcher and software engineer based in Berkeley with 12 years of experience at the intersection of systems, security, and reverse engineering. With a PhD track spanning UIUC and UC Berkeley and an MS from Purdue, he blends deep academic rigor with hands-on engineering practice. He contributes to prominent open-source tooling for binary analysis—most notably radare2—where he implemented ESIL enhancements, an ESIL-to-REIL converter, and a range of bug fixes that improved x86 analysis and tooling robustness. Comfortable in both research and production settings, he’s known for turning low-level program semantics into practical analysis features and for treating senior engineers’ workflows as the real product.
